> Tan, for his part, apologized over the weekend, noting that his post was a reference to a Tupac Shakur lyric

Ah, so if it's a quote, it doesn't matter, because even though you've decided when to use them, they're not "your words"

Thanks, going to publish press releases with Cannibal Corpse lyrics going forward.

can confirm this is taken almost word for word from "Hit 'em up", 2Pac's infamous and apparently (at least partially) sincere response to B.I.G.'s "Who shot ya?"

this song played an important part in the public exchange that concluded with both artists dead from fatal gunshot wounds.

the seemingly out of place "as a record label" portion of Tan's quote probably should have engendered some pause in the discerning reader.
